In maths, the people who write the proof sometimes aren't the people who make it rigorous. The elements of the proof are there and there are people who like coming in and fixing it. Same thing with grammar/writing...There are people who like coming in and fixing it.

Or if you would like, it is part of the art form to stay raw.

Thanks, a combination of lack sleep and food the last couple days. See the last line, I knew there were tons of mistakes but up in the sky so hard to see them.

It means attack the problem from a point of interest. Ergo, can mean reading that same book ;), back to front maybe :D

It's not the universities that are racial bias because Asians are overrepresented at Ivy League school.
The real question should be why is the SAT so racially bias?

Personally, I'm waiting for you guys to go again. From, HNLondon meetups, to busmapper to donothingfor2minutes, to the turntable hack, I haven't meet anyone with so much executing power. Having that many successes in such a short time is not luck.
[PS. If you do set sail again, give me a shout. Shipmate Chester Grant reporting for duty.]

“Computer generate for me the sequence of all possible steps I could take; highlight moves that results in high economic and emotional payoff. Feel free to use alpha beta pruning and dynamic programming to reduce the time taken to polynomial time. Also, constrain possible moves to reflect my personal proclivities. Also, highlight a path were I'm dating Alicia Keys and Drake is with Nicki Minaj.. hate to see him beg on a music video.” [1]
My dream programming language should be able to run this. Good luck.

"In the mosaic of America, three groups that have been unusually successful are Asian-Americans, Jews and West Indian blacks — and in that there may be some lessons for the rest of us."

"Do African immigrants make the smartest Americans? The question may sound outlandish, but if you were judging by statistics alone, you could find plenty of evidence to back it up. In a side-by-side comparison of 2000 census data by sociologist John R. Logan at the Mumford Center, State University of New York at Albany, black immigrants from Africa average the highest educational attainment of any population group in the country, including whites and Asians."

I think it is more cultural than genetics.
